Mr. Roach, we have azaleas near the ground, and a rhododendron above, and they were bountiful this Spring. Both seem quite characteristic of home gardens in the PNW. In a greenhouse it might be possible to grow plumeria here, but difficult (not impossible) to grow outdoors. If you like roses, you would love it here.What is that flowering at the end of the deck? Looks like frangipani aka plumeria. We got a cutting from a nearby resident a couple years ago. No flowers yet. Apparently it's supposed to be a tropical plant and doesn't like temperatures below 40F, so we've kept ours in a pot so we can bring it inside in the winter while it's dormant to keep it from freezing.
